Abstract

The best known Microdochium spp. are important pathogens of small-grain cereals
and/or endophytes of diverse monocot hosts. This study is the first report of M. majus
isolated from asymptomatic grapevine tissues. It was hypothesised that this M. majus strain,
CBS 152328, was an endophyte and an antagonist of some fungal pathogens of grapevine.
Microscopic examinations revealed that this strain was a necrotrophic mycoparasite of
Botrytis cinerea. This was demonstrated in the confrontation zones of dual cultures of M.
majus and B. cinerea, and also on the surface of co-inoculated grape leaf discs and germinated
wheat grains. Pathogenicity tests indicated that M. majus can colonise both grape leaf discs
and germinated wheat, but it only damaged wheat. When co-inoculated with B. cinerea
onto grape leaf discs, the M. majus strain CBS 152328 suppressed its mycohost on grape
tissues and prevented leaf necrosis caused by B. cinerea. In addition to the parasitism, M.
majus also showed mild antibiosis against B. cinerea, as well as a defence elicitor effect on
grape leaf discs. This work is the first report of the mycoparasitic behaviour of M. majus, in
addition to its first isolation from a dicot host.
